Men's brains work completely different to women's don't they...

DH offered to vacuum the cat hair off the sofa. Lovely. He couldn't find the attachments in the understairs black hole cupboard. I suggest he take the ones from the old one in the cellar. Our cellar has a very heavy trap door. Instead of bringing them all up, he brought each one up one at a time to show me. Meaning he hefted open the trap doors open then closed them 3 or 4 times. Eventually he brought up the (needed) upholstery bit. Process of elimination.

I did get a bit "oh, ffs!, are you having a fucking giraffe!"

I'm not a princessy high maintenance type, but have been ill for quite a while, so it probably wound me up more than it usually would have. I apologised for the shouting and arm waving.

Love the bloke really. Silly sausage.

Can somebody direct me to the section in Cordelia Fine's "socialisation innit'" book where she explains how her theories tie in with the existence of transsexuals including cases of children medically assigned a gender shortly after birth who then grow up tormented because they feel they are the wrong gender despite having never known about what happened to them?

Party if you're referring to the case of David Reimer, he was never fully given female sex organs, was compared constantly to his twin brother and as part of this was also sexually abused by his therapist. Which couldn't possibly have played a part in his trauma, which was all caused by the fact that he "felt the wrong gender".

OP I am sorry if my post upset you earlier, it wasn't my intention. Your original post was lighthearted so I didn't realise that you were feeling ill. I don't mean to imply that he in particular does nothing or is lazy or useless - I just have a problem with the use of "lol men" as humour, because I do genuinely think it's damaging.

I have an MA in psychotherapy but certainly can't claim to be an expert in neuroscience, although I have studied it to some level. I'm untidy and can't multi-task for shit, but am fucking awesome at parallel parking! Peoples brains work differently on an individual level, gender only plays a minor role I believe.
